Pangea Proxima: End of Earth and how Humanity could survive

Spacetime S07E01 - Pangea Proxima: End of Earth and how Humanity could survive | WELT HD Documentary 00:00 Intro A journey begins — through deep time, planetary collapse, and the question that defines us: Can humanity survive its own future? 01:22 Chapter 2 – Origins and Overpopulation How humanity might survive the downfall of Earth. In about five billion years, Earth will perish along with the Sun. But long before that, rising temperatures will make life impossible. Our future depends on our ability to expand into space. The journey to new worlds is long and difficult — and humans were never made for interstellar travel. Earth is in danger: whether by the slow death of the Sun, a meteorite impact, or climate change, it will not remain habitable forever. In just 250 million years, massive volcanism could turn it into a desert planet. 13:11 Chapter 3 – A Glimpse into Our Future What lies ahead for us? From long-term planetary warming to the theoretical supercontinent Pangaea Proxima, the fate of our species is closely tied to changes we can barely comprehend. The clock is ticking, and the Earth — as a home — is finite. 23:39 Chapter 4 – Escape from Earth To ensure long-term survival, humanity may have to leave Earth behind. But with current technology, a journey to our closest star system, Proxima Centauri, would take tens of thousands of years. Concepts like generation ships — self-sustaining, interstellar habitats — remain purely theoretical. Some argue it's wiser to invest in making Earth livable for longer. Still, if escape becomes necessary, the odds are against us. 41:23 Chapter 5 – AI and the Next Evolution Artificial intelligence and robotics could ease the path to survival in deep space. Perhaps the next step in evolution is not biological at all. Silicon-based lifeforms or human-machine hybrids may one day thrive where we cannot. And yet, despite the risks, humanity has always adapted. Just as we once left Africa, we may one day leave our solar system. The end of Earth might only be the beginning. #spacetime #space #documentary #pangaea #docuseries Thumbnail created with AI assistance 📺 Watch more documentaries https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-5sURDcN_Zl8hBqkvZ6uXFpP3t55HU9s 🔔 Subscribe to our full documentary channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBAeFXaLV1ZqKqc-Uf3pKaA?sub_confirmation=1
